yeah, I think you're right. The first Giants game where Tiki racked up 200+ yards didn't help. Then there was a long run we gave up in the 49er game. Big gainers here and there were the difference in '05. In '04, all the cracks were sealed tight, everyone seemed to be in precise position, and as a result, almost nobody got through for a long run.
